The apple of Prince William's eye, Kate Middleton, is not letting a media frenzy - in which she has already been crowned a future queen - go to her head. And she is proving better at weathering the paparazzi storm than the prince's mother, Diana.
As the British media continue to speculate on an impending marriage between William, the second in line to the British throne, and the middle-class commoner, royal advisers have prepared her for the paparazzi pack, especially when they visit London's nightclubs.
Whenever she leaves those nightclubs, she checks her hair and makeup in the women's restroom, so she can present the best possible image to the press pack.
She's used those skills to win over the paparazzi, who follow every move she makes. One London paper even featured photos of her receiving a ticket from a parking warden, but instead of getting angry, the photos showed her laughing it off.
Inevitably, comparisons are drawn between Kate and Diana. But Kate is seen as less naive than Diana was, royal watchers say.
'The difference is she's a much more mature girl, educated at the same level as the prince himself, and they've been together for a lot longer than Diana was with Prince Charles before they married,' said Robert Jobson, a veteran royal reporter and author of William's Princess, which chronicles the couple's relationship.
